Aromatherapy is the ancient practice of using essential oils
extracted from plants to treat and heal imbalances of the
body, mind, spirit, emotions, and to improve health.
Aromatherapy is actually a form of herbal medicine, but
instead of using the entire herb, aromatherapy uses the
fragrance of the essential oils that is released when the
fresh herb is compressed. Inhaling the scents of these
essential oils is said to interact with your brain and can
cause a strong effect on your emotions, and how you feel
and act.
Aromatherapy essential oils are designed to produce a
positive impact on your mood. Each scent is carefully
tested to make sure that it evokes a pleasant response
when inhaled. Among the most popular scents are
lavender, rosemary, eucalyptus, chamomile, marjoram,
jasmine, peppermint, lemon, ylang ylang, and geranium.
Aromatherapy
Why does Aromatherapy work?
Aromatherapy is effective, because your sense of smell is extremely powerful.
Your sense of smell is 10,000 times more sensitive than any of your other
senses, and smell recognition is immediate. Your other senses like touch and
taste must travel through the body before reaching the brain to cause a
response. Your nose exposes your brain and central nervous system directly
and immediately to the scents and smells in your environment. Your brain is
influenced by all of your senses, but your sense of smell has the most profound
effect of them all.
The commercial industry knows how important your sense of smell is, and they
play to it in practically every product that is produced. The perfume industry is
built around your sense of smell, and so is just about every other industry. If a
product has an unpleasant scent, companies know you will not buy it no matter
how effective the product performs. One of the earliest products to capitalize on
the efficiency of aromatherapy is Vicks Vapor Rub. The aroma of Vicks has
been used for decades to ease the symptoms of a cold and flu. In fact,
aromatherapy has been around for more than 6000 years. Greeks, Romans,
and ancient Egyptians all used aromatherapy for bathing, massages, perfumes,
incenses and even embalming.
Studies of Aromatherapy
Clinical trials suggest that aromatherapy may produce positive benefits as a
complementary treatment in reducing stress, pain, nausea, and depression.
Proponents also say aromatherapy can help relieve bacterial infections,
stimulate the immune system, fight colds, flu and sore throats, improve urine
production, increase circulation, relieve headaches, indigestion, muscle tension,
stress, anxiety, depression and insomnia.

How to Use Aromatherapy
The essential oils of aromatherapy can be inhaled, massaged into the skin or
used in a bath. Scent preferences are often highly personal, and if you have a
smell disorder, you can still use massage or bathe in the oils to achieve some of
the benefits of aromatherapy.
Candles, incense, and potpourri are some of the more common methods used
to inhale the fragrances of the aromatherapy essential oils, but diffusers are
among the most popular.
Aromatherapy Diffusers
Diffusers are highly regarded by aromatherapists and alternative health
practitioners, because the process is one the safest and cleanest ways to
disperse scents into the air. Incense and potpourri often have synthetic scents,
which can counteract the therapeutic effect of the essential oils and interfere
with the natural potency of the oils fragrance. Aromatherapy candles, and light
bulb rings designed to hold the essential oils can get pretty hot and can alter the
composition of the oils fragrance and reduce its true effectiveness.
Diffusers utilize a low heat to release fragrance into the air and better preserve
the integrity of the oils. The scent released by diffusers is usually more aromatic
and therefore more effective. There are several different kinds of diffusers, but
using this method usually helps the fragrance to last longer, helps the scents
cover a wider area, and helps release a more effective and consistent
strengthen of the scent of the essential oils.
To maximize the benefits of aromatherapy essential oils it is also important to
create the ideal atmosphere. To enjoy the complete therapeutic effects, you
should use the oils in a proper, tranquil and restful setting. Although
aromatherapy essential oils are powerful, the effect can be minimized if not used
in the proper manner.
